Epilepsy Surgery
Our Level 4 accredited centers perform advanced epilepsy surgeries with excellent outcomes. Procedures include resective surgery, neuromodulation, and laser ablation for drug-resistant cases. Our surgeons specialize in minimally invasive techniques and have decades of collective experience. Patients benefit from pre-surgical evaluations using MEG and video-EEG to ensure precise interventions tailored to seizure origins.
Diagnostic Services
Accurate diagnosis begins with detailed history, neurological exams, and specialized testing. We utilize routine EEG, ambulatory monitoring, video-EEG, MEG, and MRI to identify seizure types and causes. Our experts distinguish epilepsy from mimicking conditions, ensuring targeted treatment plans. Cognitive testing helps assess comorbidities like memory or mood disorders associated with seizures.
PNES Program
We offer one of the few comprehensive programs for psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) in the U.S. Our multidisciplinary team includes epileptologists, neuropsychologists, and clinical psychologists. Treatment combines video-EEG monitoring, psychotherapy, and behavioral interventions to address non-epileptic seizure events and their psychological underpinnings.
Clinical Trials
As a leader in epilepsy research, we conduct open clinical studies evaluating new medications, devices, and therapies. Patients gain access to investigational treatments not yet available on the market. Our trials focus on drug-resistant epilepsy, pediatric syndromes, and innovative approaches like dietary interventions and neuromodulation techniques.
Dietary Therapies
Our nutritionists specialize in ketogenic, modified Atkins, and low glycemic index diets for seizure management. These evidence-based therapies are tailored for children and adults with drug-resistant epilepsy. We provide personalized meal planning, metabolic monitoring, and long-term support to optimize seizure control through dietary interventions.
